The Botanic Garden on the
Isle of Wight is a place where the pleasure of plants
can be enjoyed to the fullest. It is also a place
where people of all ages can learn more about the
wonderful world of plants and the inextricable link
that we have with them.
The Garden is owned by the Isle of
Wight Council and is held in perpetuity as public open
space. It is free of charge to enter the grounds and
the Temperate Showhouse and only car parking is charged
for. There is much happening at Ventnor and a firm
commitment to the furtherance of peoples' understanding
of the plant kingdom. The Garden has a strong
regard for environmental issues and a clear stance
on Agenda 21.
The local community is vital to the
success of the Garden and there is much involvement
with all walks of life. The Garden's growing
and active Friends' Society organises many events and
actively participates in the work of the Garden.
